BBQ Gas Tank Refills

Following are some of the ways of getting your BBQ propane gas tank refilled (or replaced).

IN SEOUL:
It is possible to replace the tank, in some cases for less than it would cost to get one re-filled. Some people have used a service reached at one of the two following numbers (same business): 2297-7799 and 2298-4433. Someone who speaks Korean will have to make the call, though. Depending on where you live, they arrive within about 30 minutes on a motorbike, gas tank in hand. The cost is less than W25,000.

It’s also possible to get a tank from Haddon House Supermarket (in Hannam-dong near UN Village), at a cost of around W100,000 – W150,000. The cost as of early 2014 has been reported as W150,000 for the first bottle, W35,000 to exchange an empty for a full bottle with a W50,000 refund when the (last) bottle is returned.

NOTE re US BBQ grills: Haddon Market will no longer refill American style BBQ gas tanks after they run out of their current inventory. It is possible to convert your US gas grill so that it is compatible with Korean tanks. The cost of doing that is around W150,000.

AROUND KOREA:
Some gas stations will also refill the tanks, but you will have to leave it there for a few days, or at least overnight. The cost may be around W40/50,000.
